Rattling Jimny was created by JW93
I've been putting up with a particular rattle for awhile now (well about 2 days) but its now really starting to bug me everytime i drive.

When my Jimny reaches over 3000 revs it begins to make a rattling noise, it does it whilst in motion and whilst stationary. I've had someone else rev poor little jimny and i cannot see anything that is loose, my first thought was that its exhaust was loose but after a breif investigation ive ruled that out (for now)!!

Any suggestions?

Cheers

what sort of rattle :S

does it sound like

1.) a couple of 5 pences in a tin

or

2.) a rattle snake

or something else :blink:

if it's 1.) it's almost certainly the heat shield around the cat - simply grind the bolts and rip it off, doesn't do any harm

;)

Penny to a pinch of sh** it is the heat shield around the cat (I'm more of a dog person anyway).

If you can't get it off, I had problems, I rammed a 99p exhaust bandage inbetween the cat and the shield. Worked a treat! :-)

It,ll definitely be the heatsheild on the cat, I've got a bit of this round mine, buckle at the top to stop it catching.
